Who is Drakeo the Ruler?
Following a handful of mix tapes Drakeo the Ruler, 28, found fame after DJ Mustard remixed his song Mr Get Dough in 2015.
In October 2015 he released his first official mix tape I Am Mr Mosely on Mustard’s 10 Summers label.
I Am Mr Mosely 2 was issued in July the following year and So Cold I Do Em, which featured Impatient Freestyle was released in December.
Drakeo recorded a 16-track mix tape Cold Devil in just ten days which was released in December 2017 and gained widespread critical acclaim.
His ninth mixtape, The Truth Hurts, was released on February 24, 2021.
Drakeo’s first run-in with the law came in January 2017 when he was arrested by LAPD cops after they raided a condo where he regularly shot music videos.
He was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and held at Men’s Central Jail and released in November that year.
Then in March 2018 he was arrested again, this time being charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
The charges stemmed from a December 2016 shooting in Carson, California, when one person was killed and two were injured.
He was acquitted of the murder and attempted murder charges on July 25, 2019.
The district attorney though, decided to refile charges of criminal gang conspiracy and shooting from a motor vehicle in August, two counts that resulted in a hung jury during his initial trial.
He was released from jail in November 2020 after the district attorney's office offered him a plea deal following three years in jail while awaiting trial.
